Self-Driving Uber Hit in Arizona, Latest Tesla Tweets, and a Chevy Bolt Goes Down to Georgia

A self-driving Uber crash, Tesla tweets from Elon Musk, and a Chevy Bolt you can test-drive in Georgia. Here’s a roundup of the latest automobile news:

Self-Driving Uber Crash in Arizona

Uber puts its self-driving program on hold in Tempe, Arizona after a high-speed crash on Saturday. No injuries were reported, but a self-driving Volvo XC90 flipped on its side after being hit by a vehicle that failed to yield.

Uber said that there were no passengers in the backseat at the time of the incident. Autonomous Volvos have been shuttling passengers around Tempe since last month.

Tesla is pulling the plug on the Model S 60 and 60 D in order to “simplify the ordering process.” Tesla sent out a notice via email last week to notify buyers of the change that takes effect on April 16. Elon Musk also teased a first drive release of a candidate version of the Tesla Model 3 on Twitter.

“Am noticing that many people think Model 3 is the ‘next version’ of a Tesla, like iPhone2 vs 3. This is not true. Model 3 is just a smaller more affordable version of Model S with less range, power, and fewer features. Model S has more advanced technology,” Musk tweeted.

Thanks for clearing that up. The all-electric sedan is expected to sell for under $40,000 and should trickle out to a handful of early buyers by the end of this year.
